Some Developments in Computational Aerodynamics in the UK

  • Chapter
100 Volumes of ‘Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics’

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 100))

  • 4449 Accesses

Summary

The UK has been responsible for many seminal contributions to the general field of computational fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer. Attempting to review all of them would be an impossible task within the space constraints imposed on us. Instead, we restrict ourselves to two particularly prominent areas, in which we can claim to have specialist knowledge, namely methods for simulating problems involving complex geometries and methods for the modelling of turbulence within the framework of the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations.
